I envy your tight tire clearances! Street cred for days. The medication bottle kickstand is a nice touch :D

Thank you, good sir! I actually added a link today because it was hard to get the wheel on and off (and I may put a 17t cog on it) so now, unfortunately and fortunately it has slightly less tight tire clearance.

and haha, needed something to hold it up, the shorter cranks don't make as nice of a kickstand anymore!

Cut your and crimp your cable!

Yeah, It is pretty intensely long and at one point a previous one I had popped a tall can I had in a bag. Crimps are beuno. I have this fear of having a short cable for some silly reason I can't explain though. I am planning on at least making it a bit shorter at least.
